On a rainy autumn night spent cuddling with your loved one or laughing with close friends, why not forgo the usual bottle of Cabernet and share this recipe for spiked apple cider instead? You’ll get the same warming, relaxing effect, as well as enjoy the spicy, fruity flavors of fall.
Fireside Apple Cider
1 red apple
2 teaspoons whole cloves
1 orange, thinly sliced
2 quarts apple cider
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon allspice
Pinch grated nutmeg
1-2 cups amaretto or Goldschlager (depending on how strong you like it!)
Cinnamon sticks to garnish
Stud the apple with the cloves. In a medium pot, combine the studded apple and remaining ingredients except the liquor. Slowly bring to a simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the liquor. Discard the apple. Ladle into large mugs and garnish each with a cinnamon stick. Sit by the fire, listen to the rain, sip slowly, and enjoy!
